pressing belt at mid span of governor and crankshaft
pulleys with 22 lbs. (10 kg) of force. A new belt should

flect .62 – .72 in. (16 – 18 mm).
Alternator Belt Adjustment
Using a pry bar, rotate alternator until proper belt tension
is attained, then tighten mounting bolts. Check tension
by depressing belt at mid span of crankshaft and alter­
nator pulleys with 22 lbs. (10 kg) of force. A new belt
should deflect .3 – .5 in. (8 – 13 mm) A used belt should
deflect .4 – .55 in. (10 – 14 mm).

crease tension and tighten nut. Check tension by de­
pressing belt at mid span of fan and drive shaft pulleys
with 22 lbs. (10 kg) of force. A new belt should deflect .48
